Events that shaped the countries of the Mediterranean

An episode from the series ECHOES OF HISTORY

Synopsis

In the late 1970s, Iraq starts a nuclear program with French support. For Saddam Hussein, Osirak is the first step toward building an atomic bomb.

Israel then entered into a secret war, carrying out sabotage and assassination, followed by an air strike in 1981. This shock operation became military doctrine.
